If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the

spring when it is stretched 10 m?

5 0

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

F=k\cdot x

We solve for k (spring constant):

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The work required is 250 joules.

What is the suitable condition for the superconductivity and high resista (a) Weak phonon-phonon interactions (b) No interaction
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(d) A strong electron-phonon interaction

Explanation:

Superconductivity -

The phenomenon of superconductivity is due to the attractive force between electrons from the exchange of the phonons that cause the bound pair of electrons known as cooper pairs .

A strong electron -phonon intercation is suitable condition for superconductivity and high resistance .

Define pressure snd state its SI units to​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Pressure (P) is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m^{2} (newtons per meter squared).

A 75.0kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the right, causing her speed to increase at a rate of 2.20m/s^2, despi
malfutka [58]

1) 4 forces

2) 165 N

3) 225 N

Explanation:

1)

There are in total 4 forces acting on the bicylist:

- The gravitational force on the byciclist, acting vertically downward, of magnitude mg, where m is the mass of the bicyclist and g is the acceleration due to gravity

- The normal force exerted by the floor on the bicyclist and the bike, N, vertically upward, and of same magnitude as the gravitational force

- The force of push F, acting horizontally forward, given by the push exerted by the bicylist on the pedals

- The air drag, R, of magnitude R = 60.0 N, acting horizontally backward, in the direction opposite to the motion of the bicyclist

2)

The magnitude of the net force on the bicyclist can be calculated by considering separately the two directions.

- Along the vertical direction, we have the gravitational force (downward) and the normal force (upward); these two forces are equal in magnitude, since the acceleration of the bicyclist along this direction is zero, therefore the net force in this direction is zero.

- Along the horizontal direction, the two forces (forward force of push and air drag) are balanced, since the acceleration is non-zero, so we can use Newton's second law of motion to find the net force on the bicylist:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m = 75.0 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=2.20 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Solving, we find the net force:

F_{net}=(75.0)(2.20)=165 N

3)

In this part, we basically want to find the forward force of push, F.

We can rewrite the net force acting on the bicyclist as

F_{net}=F-R

where:

F is the forward force of push

R is the air drag

We know that:

F_{net}=165 N is the net force on the bicyclist

R = 60.0 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation, we can find the force generated by the bicylicst by pedaling:

F=F_{net}+R=165+60=225 N

Addition of a lubricant such as oil to a surface will __ friction ?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Addition of a lubricant such as oil to a surface will decrease friction. This makes the surface more greasy or slippery. This is very much efficient in machines, for example.

A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .if after the collision it moves with a velocity of 2
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

-1.2 kg - m/s

Explanation:

\pink{\frak{Given}}\begin{cases}\textsf{ A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .}\\\textsf{ After the collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0m/s in the opposite direction.}\end{cases}

And we need to find out the change in momentum of the body . Here ,

  • velocity before collision (u) = 10m/s
  • velocity after collision (v) = 2m/s .

We know that momentum is defined as amount of motion contained in a body . Mathematically ,

\sf\longrightarrow momentum (p)= mass(m) * velocity(v)

Therefore change in momentum will be,

\sf\longrightarrow \triangle p = mv - mu

Since the direction of velocity changes after the collision , the velocity will be -2m/s .

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p = 100g( -2m/s -10m/s) \\

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p =\dfrac{100}{1000}kg ( -12m/s)  \\

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p   = 0.1 kg * -12m/s \\

\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\bf \Delta p = -1.2 \ kg-m/s} \\
